Final Preparations Underway
A Message to Our GoJu Pickleball Family
To our GoJu Pickleball Family,
As many of you know, a big chapter is about to begin for us.
On 6 April 2026, Anita and I will be departing Perth in the Jayco, heading east with the goal of making landfall at Redcliffe by the end of April to compete in the Redcliffe Pickleball Event. From there, we will be chasing a long-held dream: travelling the East Coast, playing in as many events as we can, and immersing ourselves in the wider pickleball community around Australia.
We are genuinely buzzing with excitement. The final preparations are happening, the plans are coming together, and the sense of adventure is real.
But if we are honest, there is also a real sense of sadness in this. Leaving Perth means leaving behind old friends, family and people who have become far more than “people we play with.” You have become our friends, our training partners, our supporters, our laugh-until-you-cry crew, and our community. This GoJu Pickleball family has been a huge part of our lives, and we feel that deeply as departure gets closer.
What makes it easier is knowing that pickleball has a way of keeping good people connected, even when the map changes. We are looking forward to meeting new players, learning from new communities, and hopefully forging new friendships all the way up the coast. And we will absolutely be carrying a piece of Perth, and a piece of all of you, with us the whole way.
Thank you for the games, the banter, the support, and the spirit you bring every time you step on court. We are not saying goodbye forever, just “see you down the road.”
With gratitude and a full heart,
Anita & Tyrone GoJu Pickleball
About Us
At GoJu Pickleball, we are passionate about pickleball and dedicated to growing this incredible sport. As accredited coaches and PAA Referees, Anita and Tyrone bring their expertise and enthusiasm to every game, lesson, and tournament.
Our journey into pickleball comes from a unique perspective, neither of us come from a traditional paddle, racket, or bat sport background. Instead, we bring a fresh and highly competitive mindset from other athletic disciplines, allowing us to approach the game with a unique understanding of movement, strategy, and player development.
We believe that every player is unique, with different strengths, challenges, and goals. Our coaching philosophy is tailored to the individual, ensuring that each player receives the guidance they need to unlock their full potential. Whether you're just starting or looking to elevate your game, we are here to support you on your pickleball journey.
Join us in our mission to grow the sport, refine skills, and most importantly, have fun on the court!
Our GoJu Approach to Pickleball
At our coaching sessions, we embrace the GoJu philosophy, blending both hard and soft playing styles to create a well-rounded pickleball experience. This approach ensures that players develop a versatile skill set, allowing them to adapt to any situation on the court.
Hard Style (Go):
Powerful Shots: Focus on developing strong, aggressive shots that can put your opponents on the defensive.
Fast Reflexes: Enhance your reaction time and agility to dominate fast-paced rallies.
Strategic Play: Learn to apply pressure and control the pace of the game with decisive, powerful moves.
Soft Style (Ju):
Precision and Control: Master the art of placing shots with accuracy and finesse.
Dinking and Soft Shots: Develop a delicate touch for effective dinks and soft shots that keep your opponents guessing.
Patience and Strategy: Cultivate a patient, strategic mindset to outmaneuver your opponents with well-timed, subtle plays.
By integrating both hard and soft elements into your game, you’ll become a more adaptable and formidable player. Join us to experience the benefits of our GoJu approach and take your pickleball skills to the next level!
